The big news in week eight was Purdue’s upset victory over Ohio State. The Buckeyes struggled in the red zone and allowed Purdue to drop 49 points on them. With Michigan’s defensive dominance over rival Michigan State, the Wolverines are now projected to reach the Playoffs. Michigan gets a well-deserved week off before hosting Penn State on November 3rd. And, of course, Michigan still faces off against the Buckeyes to end the regular season so there are plenty of huge games left that will decide the winner of the Big Ten.
